Are you a high-performing achiever who’s frustrated because the ONLY reward for your great work has been more work?

Have you become too valuable to your company doing your current job for them to let you move into a role you REALLY want?

Has performing miracles become your ‘normal’ way of working and what others expect from you?

If this sounds like you or someone you know, mark your calendar for September 21st at 7 pm Eastern and make plans to join me on “Fired Up with the Expert”, a new career reinvention webinar series hosted by blogger, marketing expert and best-selling author Megan Wagner. In this free, live webinar, we’ll be talking about the Performance Punishment Cycle and how you can break free so you can start winning at work.

If you’ve had a chance to flip through the introduction to my book Great Work, Great Rewards: 7 Secrets to Breaking the Performance Punishment Cycle, you may be somewhat familiar with my journey to becoming a first-time, self published author. The VERY short version is that I felt comfortable about writing a book but had no idea of what to do once the words were on the page and my manuscript was written. What happens next? How do you go from a draft manuscript to becoming a published author? How do you format and market a book?

I knew that to be successful in writing my first book I needed help. So I took the the Internet and consumed every free webinar, download and blog post on becoming an author I could find. And there’s a LOT out there!

Sooooo, a while back, I made a brief open post dedicated to the guy whose vocation seems to be serving as self-anointed unofficial doorman at the Dunkin’ Donuts I now frequent close to work. To borrow from Martin Lawrence with a dash of Wendy Williams, he’s become the friend in my head called Hustle Man since my commute changed slightly a year and a half ago.

While I maintain my posture that I owe my Hustle Man no financial compensation for holding the door open for me and other patrons, no matter how many times he calls me sweetheart or wishes me a Blessed day, I have come to respect his hustle.

I mean, the guilt-supported tax-free income he collects aside, I’ve noticed the following similarities between him and those of us working 9-ish to 5-ish gigs every day.

Take the “Customer First” Parenting Survey!

Companies around the world understand that listening to customers is key to to building lasting relationships that lead to future success.

I thought we’d take a page from this philosophy and apply it to the most important relationship of all — the one between a parent and child.

My hypothesis is simple: just as the customer knows what an ideal experience with a brand should look and feel like, every child has valuable insights that can help current and future parents be more effective…if only someone would listen!
